As a back-up for the FMP project, I decided to create another project just in case I didn't get the funding I needed. When thinking for another project to create, I started researching into the possibility to document the day to day bacteria a person has on their hands. Bacteria coast all surfaces we always touch and will remain part of ours lives. After researching, I came up with the concept of documenting the amount of bacteria that consists on the hands everyday. To make the project a success, I imitated a study that was produced last year. As part of a study, people were asked to place their hands inside a petri-dish to record the amount of bacteria that lies upon someones hands. In a similar effect, I made sure that everyday I would document the amount of things I touched but also made sure I places my hand in a petri-dish everyday to record the amount for the 12 hours. This project has been on-going for the last 7 months and will be continued for 12 months in total. The images will be added to the site when completed

"The amount of bacteria found on the average human hand is alarming to the uninitiated. According to research from the University of Colorado at Boulder, on average we carry 3,200 bacteria from 150 different species on our hands." - Dr Noah Fierer
